The Bleakborn fails its save against Tau's Grease spell and falls prone, spoiling its attack against SoulFetter, but the Aura of cold still doesThe Bleakborn attempts to slam bodily into SoulFetter again, and it succeeds, inflicting 14 hp damage from the slam itself, 5 hp cold damage to the Urgant.

For every one hundred men you send us, Ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine of them are real fighters; We are lucky to have them, they the battle make. Ah, but the one. One of them is a warrior. And he will bring the others back. - Heraclitus of Ephesus, 500 BC

You're so very right that Tau does not have the first clue about where the creature's aura ends, he only knows that he can feel the deadly chill of the undead being from where he now stands. Going in that direction, SW straight back from the undead, but maintaining line-of-sight to the foe, Kerlan is still within the aura at J,6.

OOC: Bottom line - being tentative like this and stopping to test every five feet, Tau is going to be subect to the aura for at least one more round. Based on what you've told me so far, I'm placing Tau in j,6 this round. You'll need to move to a definite place next round to leave the aura, and you'll just have to guess how far it extends. Pussyfoot around again, and Tau will spend another round in the aura. I don't intend to seem harsh, but you're in combat, not conducting an experiment on the boundaries of auras.
